Integrate real-time text-to-speech with Sonic-3.6, Cartesia. Backed by General Catalyst, Index and Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
You will be responsible for leading research at the frontier of realtime conversation and human AI interaction. You will contribute across the stack to novel architectures, data, and evals for realtime audio, and translate them into state-of-the-art models used in voice agents around the world. Architect and develop new architectures for realtime audio understanding, generation, and speech-to-speech models that reason jointly over multiple modalities in realtime
What they're looking for
- Strong applied mindset and ability to balance scientific novelty with product impact
- Excited and able to work across the stack from infra, to data, to evals, to architecture to solve customer problems and build state-of-the-art models
- Deep expertise in deep generative modeling. Previous experience in audio understanding, audio generation, speech-to-speech, or language modeling preferred but not required
- Experience with large-scale training, GPU/TPU acceleration, and model optimization
- Note: Cartesia participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with Form I-9 information to confirm employment eligibility after hire
More about this role
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
